Grilled Brie & Jam

A simple but harmonious combination of flavors with soft and smooth brie and rich jam.

For the first 90% of my life, I don't think I ever heard of, saw, and definitely did not taste brie. The most recent 10% I hear about brie, see it all over menus, and have tasted it in several different variations which my wife and other members of my family have concocted.

Most recently I saw my wife putting brie and jam on a sandwich and grilling it. I know I am late to the brie and jam party, but it sounded like such a weird combination to me. However, I'll try just about anything, regardless of how off-flavored it sounds to me. I tried my wife's sandwich and promptly asked how she made them and to keep them coming!

Such a simple combination, but sophisticated flavor and texture profile of which I can't get enough! It couldn't be more simple, same concept as a grilled cheese. Get your favorite bread, brie cheese, and your favorite jam (we like blackberry), and you're ready to go to town! Slice the brie and place it on one side, spread jam generously on other side, place together and grill over a medium-heated and buttered pan for a few minutes and voila!

This has become an instant staple as a quick and easy meal for our family. I know I'm late to the brie and jam party, and if you are in the same boat, wait no longer!
